Making decisions on when and where these wind farms are built requires a year-round understanding of the species present and their ecology, particularly for protected species that are sensitive to sound, such as marine mammals. Passive acoustic monitoring devices detected small cetacean echolocation click trains within and surrounding the Maryland Wind Energy Area in order to collect baseline data that can be used for informing siting, mitigation measures, assessing environmental impacts for future wind energy developments, and to facilitate marine spatial planning in the area. Marine mammals are protected under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and small cetacean species, such as bottlenose dolphins, short-beaked common dolphins, and harbor porpoises are known to be present in this region. We recorded echolocation clicks from small cetaceans using passive acoustic devices called C-PODs, Cetacean PODs, which are tonal click train detectors. This acoustic monitoring during 3 years in November 2014 - 2017 allowed us to capture interannual and seasonal variation in small cetacean occurrence within and surrounding the Maryland Wind Energy Area offshore of Ocean City, Maryland, USA. We propose to collect and analyze passive acoustic recording data from the Maryland Wind Energy Area. The focus of the analysis will be to collect acoustic data to characterize patterns of temporal and spatial occurrence of vocalizing marine mammal species, and characterize the existing ambient noise environment in and around the Maryland WEA. This information will be used to establish baseline information that can be used to assess potential influences of anthropogenic noises produced by the construction and operation of future Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) development. Determining patterns of marine mammal occurrence is a critical first step in order to determine any potential effects that an ORE development might have on the behavior and ecology of resident or migratory species. The specific scientific objectives of the proposed project include: 1. Determine the temporal occurrence and spatial distributions of vocalizing marine mammals (including right whales, fin whales, humpback whales, minke whales and any small cetacean species) identified using a combination of automated call detection software and expert human validation. 2. Estimate specific spatial locations and movements of right whales within and near the Maryland WEA, using an acoustic localization array. For each right whale contact call recorded by three or more hydrophones, the location of the calling right whale will be estimated using software that computes the most likely location for the whale based on arrival time differences. 3. Assess ambient sound levels throughout the Maryland WEA. This study involved collaboration with the Center for Conservation Bioacoustics at Cornell University.
